In the states where Obama won he walloped Hillary

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

I hope this doesn't come down to DLC super delegates giving it to Hillary

1. Uh huh... spin, rinse, repeat.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

3. huh?

[niceypoo]

26. Another useless, meaningless thread

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

35. why is it useless - I'm pointing out that Obama won by large %s

in the states he won - that's interesting I think

[Dogmudgeon]

2. You know how it's going to be spun

If Obama wins, the people have spoken.

If Clinton wins, she stole it.

--p!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

4. I'll vote for Hillary if she gets the nod

I just think the super delegate advantage is hers

[mtnsnake]

6. You nailed it.

Have you ever seen a bigger bunch of babies anywhere else?

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

7. oh please

grow up

[mtnsnake]

9. haha, shoe fits

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

11. how - because Obama won more states?

:shrug:

[Clovis Sangrail]

5. It will

and just like other elections have pointed out flaws in other parts of our electoral system, this will point out major problems with our primary delegate system.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

40. i sure hope so

:patriot:

[William769]

8. Over all Obama got "walloped"

Look at the delegate count.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

13. it looks fairly even to me

not a blow out

[William769]

17. Maybe in hoseshoes or hand grenades.

Only need one to be in the lead. BTHW It's more than one.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

19. great so Hillary goes on to win the presidency for McCain

I can't wait

[William769]

21. Do you know what you sound like when you say that?

Trust me it's not what you think.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

22. I sound like me

I have a brain of my own

[William769]

23. Then use it!

:eyes:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

24. I am and I support Obama because I talk to republicans and they will never

switch for Hillary. And I talk to Democrats who would prefer McCain to continuing the dynasty

[William769]

27. Oy vey!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

31. Oy vey what? you have any response other than "then use it"?

:shrug:

[Yossariant]

29. Others of us talk to Democrats and Republicans who have different opinions

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

32. ok great. But that hasn't been my experience.

I feel that people are sick of political dynasties - on both sides.

[William769]

36. All your experience s's seem to be in a alternate universe.

:eyes:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

37. how so? I don't follow you.

do you care to discuss or just use declarative statements and emoticons?

[Yossariant]

38. They see it as a political talking point --- nothing more.

Even totally apolitical people say things like, "I liked Bill Clinton." or "Things have been bad since Clinton left."

I wonder if John Adams gave much thought to dynasties. :evilgrin:

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

39. Ok professor

You know best

[goldcanyonaz]

14. She beat him by ONLY 400,000 in CA... Dat's CLOSE!!

:rofl:

[cali]

16. That's just spin too.

He did not get walloped in the delegate count. Super delegate aside, they're just about even. And I wouldn't be surprised to see a battle of the SDs in the next couple of weeks with both sides scooping them up.

[William769]

18. If you notice it's in quotations cali.

I took it from the OP. Lets call it humble pie.

[rpannier]

10. You could have posted

In some states Obama has won we aren't ever going to win in November: Utah, Idaho and Alaska for example.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

12. true but this is a primary

[TheUniverse]

15. If Hillary wins by "superdelegates"(AKA unelected delegates) it will be a sad day for democracy.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

20. who do you think they'll go for?

[TheUniverse]

28. Well, they are already going for clinton.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

34. exacty - the people have spoken

un....no wait.....

[rpannier]

25. The super delegates need to be abolished and

so does the practice where the candidate with the most votes does NOT win the most delegates:

In Nevada in happened to Clinton
Today it appears to have happened to Obama in Alabama.

Proportional vote or winner-take-all I can handle.
The person with the most popular vote getting less delegates is assanine.

[Orsino]

30. That was preordained.

A relative newcomer would have had to thrill the DLCers to win many superdelegates. They are there to enforce the status quo...though they can change their minds.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

33. I hope that they do change their minds

because the status quo blows
